Pearl River Restaurant

Fantastic Chinese food. Kevin (owner) is the best!
The cocktail lounge is the best place to have a drink. Friendly atmosphere, always something fun going on at the bar. Great prices, great drinks. Good place to watch sports. I highly recommend Pearl River and Pearl River lounge.

Excellent Chinese Food. The salt and pepper fish is my favorite go-to.. it’s best consumed on site immediately while it’s hot!

OMG. The food was delicious. This was me and my mom’s first time eating here and it was super yummy. The food was amazing. Also, the customer service was amazing as well. Very friendly. I love the recommendations. Thank you so much for making my first visit memorable. We will definitely be coming back.

My husband and I have been loyal customers of Pearl River for many years, hoping each visit would bring a better experience. Unfortunately, after our recent visit, I can confidently say that we will never return. If I could give them a negative star rating, I absolutely would.

To start, my husband ordered the war wonton soup, which he usually enjoys with extra noodles. What we received was shocking. The noodles looked and tasted like cheap Top Ramen, and we couldn't believe we were charged an extra $2.00 for such a subpar product. It was both disappointing and frustrating.

As for my favorite dish, the lemon chicken, I was equally let down. It used to be the best in South San Jose, but this time, the chicken was tough, and the sauce tasted like something out of a TV dinner. I had high hopes for a delicious meal, and I left feeling incredibly disappointed.

I truly wanted to love Pearl River again, but this last experience has made it clear that we will be looking elsewhere for our Chinese food cravings. It's a shame to see a once-great restaurant fall so far short of expectations.

This is the second time I’ve ordered a chicken dish at this particular Chinese restaurant. This is the last time the chicken is so dry underneath the breading and sauce I needed kitchen scissors to cut through the chicken I am not kidding!
We also order the war wonton soup it tasted like lettuce water my daughter said with soggy old lettuce leaf, no ginger, no soy sauce just plain old lettuce water and old wontons, The only person who liked the food with the dog. Please don’t waste your hard earned money on this old chicken they serve and old soup!

Great place to meet up with the locals. Price on drinks are responsible and they have great food too. Highly recommend this hang out!

I ordered orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, chow mein and kung pao tofu. The food was good but not the best I had. I would say it was quality for the price. I'm going to shop around the area for other Chinese restaurants before I return.

I will never return to this place. It is now being run by mexicans. Nothing but men in there. The girl servers will ignore you unless you're a man. I waited 30 minutes for my two item lunch. Never got it after 35 minutes I left and they didn't even offer to give me my money back this used to be my go-to restaurant not anymore
